PhotoHunt #220- OPEN





An open window of a traditional wooden house in the only 'kampung' ( little village)  here in Singapore. Almost 80 %  of our residents now  live in high rise apartments . The old traditional wooden houses are all long gone, being replaced by apartment blocks .

Is this Kamping at Buangkok? I've always wondered how to get there..
Will seem like a great place to bring the kids on educational outing :)

beautiful--I love to look at older pieces of history. Great shot.

Nice shot, Jama.
It's all happening everywhere now, old traditional houses are being replaced by new, modern ones. I guess in the future we will only have pictures like yours to show our children (and the next generations) of how was life before.
Enjoy your weekend.

I like the old wooden houses much more then apartment blocks which look so sterile. The house in the picture looks homely and friendly. It is a shame that the old wooden houses are not preserved. I guess there are more and more people needing living space and it is the way up!

What a pity when the traditional windows have such charm.

Wow Jama 80% live in an apartment now? That is very cool to take a lot of photos of the old houses since sooner or later they will be gone. Happy weekend!
